Rare loot weekend

[Natjur]

From the way I read the 'weekend bonus'. The weapons rarity (colour) and drop rates did not change. But the weapon types that normally do not drop (like SAW LMG) now have a chance to drop this weekend.

I did get some weapon this weekend that I have never seen drop before, but they were all white.

That would be false, Legendary weapons can drop from anything that has a loot table.

xbox 360 EU EGO 3275 Killed 100000+ easy and yet to see a single orange drop from normal enemies/arkfalls/co-op/emergencies

Been on most of the weekend - nothing dropping to get excited about - lots of scrap to convert to keys, and I've logged over 3600 hours of playtime and have never seen a purple drop other than major arkfall reward, and have only found orange in lock boxes. Only 4 orange total! Gearbox - oops - make that Trion - you need to loosen the purse strings a bit! (Game starting to look like Borderlands 2 as far as loot rates!)

Game started off looking great, but have played the same thing over and over - 5th time thru mission now - and game is getting a bit boring. Need something new to play - any word on when DLC is coming?

Well I'm glad to hear that nobody is cleaning up on weapons this weekend.

I came home on Sunday after taking my wife out for brunch to discover daughter 2of3 settling into my xbox for a Batman session. I was getting anxious that I was missing out.

Even if the drops are not generous, I like that they are having 'events'. Makes me feel the world is a bit dynamic. I just wish gameplay would mimic the events. "Hellbug Mating Season" - i expected to see either more Hellbug missions or some hot bug-on-bug action.

Oh well - I can play mid-week.

as four me have not seen 1 rare drop gun from any npc in game since they said you kan get 1 etto... hmmm...
all i got are white/green/blue/ alot purple gun do not think you get rare gun drop from npc fight
Think you only get it from LvL 4 lock box most people tell me in game they got from lock box what give it out

So bout 32 people told same answer to me in way seem like they want you to spend real money then go buy lock box
this what it seem n look like to me way to make some money. npc still same no change they act do same thin as they did be four when game released

(ps: do not think this was good converted game from the game console to the pc)

Me! Got my first Legendary at Ego 223 and it was a sexy shotgun. Dropped off a final wave of enemies during an emergency.

That's nice to see at ego 223, I'm 2,700+ and I haven't seen a purple drop yet alone and orange. I don't equip the perk that increase 3% loot drop=rate but still being almost 3k and not seeing a purple drop is disappointing, makes it very unrewarding/unsatisfing to farm for loot.

Yep, same scenario here. only purples i get are from tier 4 lockboxes. I woul rather see more keycodes and a loer % of getting a legendary weapon, I put on 4-5 hours ever night, i used to like ending the session wit ha tier for lockbox, now it takes several days to get smack in teh face with disappointment. game has a lot of potential.... still waiting

Hundreds of thousands of kills, have YET to see a purple drop from a mob, and I've run a loot bonus a good 40% of the time, not including the loot bonus from this weekend on TOP of my normal 10%. Needless to say, I didn't see 1 purple drop from the 50 hulker runs I did. Never did he drop a white though. I did however get a legendary rocket launcher from a T3 box, it was nothing to write home about though. To this date I've managed 3 Legendary's. 1 Grenades, 1 Cluster Grenade, 1 Rocket launcher, ALL from T3 boxes, 2 using cash, the other using resources.

Have to agree with the general consensus, the rare loot is very rare. Back before they nerfed key code drops, and you could really gun farm, I could get 72 of them an hour or 9 new weapons(that's all ya used at get). Still have only gotten one orange(BMG ugh), only a few usable purples, lots of good blues and greens. Never seen anything other then blues drop. Some gun types are more rare then others for some reason. Get a lot of rockets/grenade launchers, BMGs, spanners, infectors and shot guns, but, not a lot of saws, faggers, assault rifles, and SMGs(ya know the guns most people use). I'm not sure if this is just me.

I don't think it me, as of reading a lot of these posts, purple and oranges are not dropping in game at this point. Maybe they were meant to and something is a miss. Or nothing has a loot table. Take your pick.

I think the game was meant for trading. I'm ego 2700 and have gotten four or five orange from tier three boxes. Many purple. I check vendors regularly. i got my best purple there. I have a double purple set... I go 30-5 in shadow war with. I trade for my best weapons and mods within my clan. I have on person in my clan that gets an orange weapon every other box!!! I built my pvp set up around my purple purchase with a couple key trades for the matching synergy. Keep playing and join a clan or search the auctions. Have fun. Great Game!!
